4-Reflections and applications
In our last activity for this mini-course, we're going to pause for a few moments to reflect on what we've done and to think about how it might apply to our own learning environments. This kind of reflection and application is an important part of the make/hack/play process and an important part of creative thinking and problem solving.
Choose one or more questions from the list below (and/or add your own) and answer them in a comment. Then read others' comments and reflect on them and how they change your thinking if at all.
